Background
chlorine-Containing Volatile Organic Compounds (CVOCs) can not only cause serious harm to human health, but also 12 first-ranked persistent organic pollutants in the International treaty on environmental projects of United nations are chlorine-containing organic compounds. Strict environmental regulations are set by many countries for emissions of CVOCs. The chlorine-containing volatile hydrocarbons are classified into nonaromatic aliphatic hydrocarbon chlorides such as dichloroethane, trichloroethylene, methyl chloride and polychlorinated methane, and aromatic hydrocarbon chlorides such as chlorobenzene and dichlorobenzene. The former is produced in the processes of producing vinyl chloride by the oxychlorination method in the chlor-alkali industry, tanning, washing, pharmaceutical industry, etc., and the latter is produced in the bleaching of wood pulp with a chlorine-based oxidizing agent, the heat treatment of chlorine-containing compounds, the recovery of metals, etc. Since these emissions are industrial processes related to the nationwide population and the emission of a large amount of CVOCs is unavoidable, there is no possibility of eliminating pollution from the source. And the method adopting post-treatment to eliminate the pollution caused by CVOCs becomes the only feasible way and method.
At present, a plurality of methods for comprehensive control of CVOCs exist, and at present, methods for removing chlorine-containing organic matters mainly include direct combustion, adsorption methods, absorption methods, photocatalysis, catalytic hydrodechlorination, catalytic steam reforming, catalytic combustion and the like. The catalytic combustion has low operation temperature (250-550 ℃), wide pollutant eliminating concentration and products (CO)2HCl and H2O) high selectivity and the like. Therefore, the catalytic combustion has the effect of eliminating volatilityThe organic compound is widely applied.
Chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene, polychlorobenzene and dioxin are mainly produced in the incineration process of garbage. Due to the high toxicity of such species, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, chlorophenol and the like are generally used as model molecules for screening and investigating the catalyst under experimental conditions.
The use of CVOCs catalytic combustion has mainly focused on three types of catalysts: noble metal catalysts, solid acid catalysts, transition metal oxide catalysts. The noble metal catalyst has the problems of relatively high price, high chlorination activity (easily generating polychlorinated byproducts with higher toxicity), easy poisoning by generating oxychloro compounds, poisoning in a high-temperature area due to loss of noble metals and the like, so that the application of the noble metal catalyst is limited. The transition metal catalyst for catalytic combustion of chloro-aromatic hydrocarbon is mainly V2O5-TiO2-based catalysts and the like. However, V2O5-TiO2V in the base catalyst2O5Has toxicity and is easy to cause secondary pollution, thus limiting the application of the pesticide. Other types of catalysts, such as solid acid catalysts, have some applications and have not been widely popularized due to their low activity or high number of by-products.
The transition metal oxide, which is the main catalyst active component used in the patent literature, is UO2、MnO2、Co3O4、La2O3、CeO2Etc. and noble metals Pt, Pd, etc., and SiO as carrier2、Al2O3、TiO2、ZrO2.
